i saw him on the first show of his tour this year and he blew the roof of the place. I don't know if I've ever seen someone play with that much passion and meaning. this man is special and the world is lucky to have him.
Joe and Eric sound distinct to me. Eric plays a bit funkier. Joe has a bit more of those quick rock runs. To each his own though. Love the music and spread lotsa love.
@@jonholland6067 For sure and he was wearing the Hendrix costumes and hats and trying his best to be Jimi with the fuzz on 11 but failed in those early days . Then he started to jump on the Eric Johnson train in the nineties with Joe Bonamassa and is now a successful cruise ship performer with Joe . Take from that what you will.
I saw Eric a few years back and he completely blew me away. Notice that he plays a right handed guitar upside down. Most left handed players have a left handed instrument, or like Hendrix, reverse the strings. The only other guitarist I am aware of that used the same setup as Eric is Albert King. Obviously the unique stylings of these guys are derived from their talent but I wonder how much the unorthodox setup helps provide new options and ideas. But whatever it is Eric has got it goin on. Go see him if you get the chance you won't be disappointed.
Great comment. Doyle Bramhall II also strings his guitar this way as a lefty. A few of his songs and performances ended up on ‘riding with the king’ (BB King and Eric Clapton). Worth a listen if you haven’t hear it. He describes Clapton reaching out to him in and old GW article.
Johns great, but he always makes me think of the old thunderbirds show from the 60s(?). Whenever i see him i hear in my head " thunderbirds are go!" LoL
His Brothers used to make him play left handed because Jimi Hendrix played left handed. If he was caught playing righthanded, they would beat him up and demanded he play lefthanded.

Eric Gales has his own sound. Such a great player.
Really ? He sounds like a poor mans Bonamassa . And Joe is a devotee of all things Eric Johnson down to every last lick. Nice.

@@jamproject9 someone clearly needs to clean his ears.
I gotta admit, no matter what.... Eric's sound is unmistakeable. Love it.
One of the most underrated musician. Seems like a great and humble person too.
Nice‼️🎸 thanks for sharing your board 🤩. That’s some kind of outta sight Strat you have.

Eric is the man, a real G who actually plays and tours with his signature pedal
